BOSTON — The rising costs of prescription drugs are driving the current

debate about Medicare reform. Yet Republicans and Democrats alike may be

unaware of a primary reason for this inflation: doctors are taught about

drugs by agents of the pharmaceutical industry, which works hard to

persuade them to select the newest and most expensive medications — even

in the absence of scientific evidence that they are any better than

older, less costly ones.
